and that would be a no

While last week provided me with so many wonderful nuggets to write about, I find myself typing what chose me during my meditation.

Yesterday, I read an article about giving ourselves permission to say both yes and no. It’s not the first time I’ve read or even been in discussion about this subject, though that’s not where I’m headed. 

This past week I received a “no” in response to something I thought I wanted. At first, I was disappointed; later I moved on with my day and really didn’t give it much thought. In meditation this morning, I heard my own voice speaking to me, telling me that this “no” was delivered to clear my path, something I should have, but didn't, see the other day; knowing what I know, that message to myself makes perfect sense.

Sometimes not receiving is just what we’re meant to receive so be awake and aware and…

ps…mid-week, I attended a 30 minute meditation session at a Buddhist temple where we were guided to consider shifting our perceived thoughts to consider what we get from a situation rather than what we don’t…I wonder if the intention to do so was still in my subconscious this morning…it has been a really good week!

comfort zones

life begins at the end of our comfort zones

Read this line in a “mindful being, mindful doing” magazine I picked up that I’d not seen before. Formerly Oh Comely magazine, Oh is “a magazine to help you live calmly and curiously” published in the UK (check with your local Barnes & Noble to see if they carry). Though I found myself taking note of many things I read and saw on its 130 pages, these nine words in an article on traveling with intention, written by Sarah Samuel, really stayed with me.

For those who enjoy a relaxing yet stimulating read and also appreciate a magazine that gives you full on lushness in texture and color along with articles of varying lengths, this one’s for you so…

twenty two zero


in twenty two zero
be your own
self care hero
it’s time to be good to you.
is that selfish you think
as your eyes blink, blink, blink
ah…no, I do propose.
the best thing one can do
is self care because who
really knows you better than you?
so in twenty twenty
schedule time for plenty
of long naps followed 
by lots of woo hoo! - © tsl

Take good care of yourself and as you do…

keep your peepers open!
